FAQs

What is included in the pack?

The pack includes 50 self-drive fixings, a Power-Driver, and a Pilot Drill.

What type of plasterboard can these fixings be used with?

These fixings are designed for use with standard plasterboard.

Do I need to pre-drill?

Pre-drilling is not always necessary, but it is recommended for older or harder plasterboard types. The pack includes a pilot drill for this purpose.

Are these fixings suitable for heavy items?

No, these fixings are designed for regular-duty applications. For heavier items, consider using a different type of fixing specifically designed for heavier loads.

How do I install the fixings?

Place the fixture against the plasterboard, use the Power-Driver to insert the self-drive fixings, and tighten until flush.

What is the material of the fixings?

The fixings are made of durable nylon.

What if the fixing spins without securing?

Ensure the plasterboard is not damaged and try pre-drilling with the pilot drill. Make sure you are using the correct size fixing.

Troubleshooting

Fixing spins and doesn't secure.

Ensure you are using the correct size fixing for the application and that the plasterboard is not damaged. Try pre-drilling with the pilot drill.

Fixing doesn't sit flush with the plasterboard.

Stop driving the fixing when it is flush with the plasterboard surface. Do not over-tighten, as this can damage the plasterboard.
